Santa Anita
2nd race--
#3 LET'S GET CRACKIN (8-5) Spawr-trained gelding has been freshened since running a huge second behind eventual BC Sprint winner Secret Circle. The son of Eddington likes this track, should get a good trip and was a winner at this distance one race back.

Santa Anita
8th race--
#4 SIDEBAR (5-2) Freshened since Del Mar, this Spawr-trained filly drops for her diploma in this $40,000 maiden claimer. She showed high speed in a live straight maiden race that produced two-next out winners and she shouldn't miss here.

Santa Anita
8th race--
#1 FAMOUS ALICE (3-1) Newly-turned sophomore filly from high-percentage Proctor barn broke her maiden at first asking like a very talented prospect. Forget about the low Beyer number, she was visually impressive and should relish the two-turn game.

Santa Anita
4th race--
#6 TRIBAL SPY (4-1) Wide-open downhill event for mid-grade claimers and I will go with Kitchingman-trained filly. She's been freshened for a couple months and is good enough to beat these off her best effort.

Santa Anita
8th race--
#1 EL COMMODORE (5-1) Wide-open edition of this downhill stakes as I will try the route-to-sprint angle on this Machowsky-trained gelding. He might like this hillside layout and reunites with Stevens. Make an exacta box with sharp NoCal invader GALLANT SON.
